Genome Announc. 2016 Jun 23;4(3):e00578-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00578-16.

Abstract

Bacteriophages Katyusha and Benczkowski14 are newly isolated phages that infect Gordonia terrae 3612. Both have siphoviral morphologies with isometric heads and long tails (500 nm). The genomes are 75,380 bp long and closely related, and the tape measure genes (9 kbp) are among the largest to be identified.
